Half-Collisions Induced by Short UV Laser Pulses
Abstract
This program was centered on the study of half-collisions (in particular, dissociative ionization) of light diatoms (H2, CO, O2 and N2) induced by intense (10 to the 13th - 10 to the 15th W/sq. cm.) 193 nm radiation. The program involved the development of a novel high peak power, short duration UV laser system, the construction and testing of an ultra-high vacuum experimental chamber, the construction and testing of a time of flight detector for positive and negative charged particles and the implementation of computerized data acquisition and processing. This report details chronologically the various projects and accomplishments during the support period.
